“I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party,” Paul added. “We’ll never even get started with doing the things we need to do, like repealing Obamacare, if we’re spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense.”

No it's better to endlessly investigate Democrats (one in particular) and their non-issues.

A new survey of 2,000 US adults, conducted in February by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), suggested that white evangelicals think Christians face more discrimination than Muslims. The poll found that 57 percent of white evangelical Protestants said that Christians face “a lot of discrimination” in the US today, while just 44 percent said the same of Muslims. White evangelicals were the only major Christian denomination to as a group indicate that Christians face more discrimination than Muslims.

persecution [pur-si-kyoo-shuh n] noun
1. the act of persecuting.
2. the state of being persecuted.
3. a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate people based on their membership in a religious, ethnic, social, or racial group:the persecutions of Christians by the Romans.

But if that is what they insist, they really do not know what the word "persecution" means, their warped world view notwithstanding.

It's pretty much a staple of white christian america, being as the pilgrims came over here so that they could persecute in ways not allowed in England and that got turned around into 'escaping persecution' because they could now flog someone for dancing or the many other completely strange shariaesque laws they followed.

"For Republicans in the club, it’s all pro-Trump. I have yet to meet a member of the Berkeley College Republicans who is against Trump." - Berkeley Campus Republican President.

"I’m a never-Trump Republican." - Campus republican member.

Hey morons, maybe you should get your stories straight first!

If you would like to learn exactly how horrible it is to be on a pro-woman, pro-immigrant, pro-gay campus when you support a serial abuser who hates women, immigrants and gays, and just how much they both whine and have built their identities on being the conservative underdogs in an obviously liberal america, here ya go!Cookies are Not Accepted - New York Times

“We’re asking the Legislature to repeal a law that’s been on the books for over a century, that’s been working without difficulty, on the basis of a request from a minor doing a Girl Scout project,” scoffed one state representative, David Bates. In March the Republican-led House voted to kill the bill, leaving the minimum age at 13. (Legislators seem willing to marry off girls like Cassandra, but not to listen to them!)

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry was roundly mocked on Twitter on Thursday for his definition of supply-and-demand economics, which he gave during a visit to a coal-fired power plant in Morgantown, W.Va.

“Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand,” Perry said, according to reports. “You put the supply out there, and the demand will follow.”

Any roadblocks the Democrats have thrown up on the health care bill, pale in comparison to the Republican opposition to any and all Obama White House initiatives. Shit members of your own party are obstructing the bill more than the Democrats.

You wrote this bill in secret without any hint of bipartisan cooperation and you can't even sell it to your own party. Since the bill has not come to a vote, and the Democrats had no input into its content, just how the fuck are they obstructing passing of this bill?

The hearing was respectable, with on-point witnesses and mostly incisive questions. That is, until California Republican Dana Rohrabacher had his turn at the microphone. After asking a reasonable, if rambling, question about NASA's plans for a Mars sample return mission and the kind of fuel used by spacecraft, Rohrabacher got down to business.

He asked, "You have indicated that Mars was totally different thousands of years ago. Is it possible that there was a civilization on Mars thousands of years ago?"
